What Baking Powder Shall We Use.

This plain question comes home to every
heusekeeper. We all desire pure and whole
some food, and this cannot be had with the
use of impure or poisonous baking powder.
There can be no longer question that oil
tho cheaper, lower grade OF baking powders
contain either alum, lime or phosphate
acid. AS 10th as we may be to admit so
much against what may have been some OF
our household gods, there can be no gain
saving the unanimous testimony of the Of
fetal chemists Indeed, analysts seem to
find no baking powder entirely free from
some one of these Objectionable ingredients
except the Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some of the bak-
ing powders advertised MS pure, to contain,
under the tests of Profs. Chandler, Hablr-
shaw and others, nearly twelve per cent.
of lime, while others are made from alum
with no cream of tartar. This, we presume
accounts for their lack of leavening power
as sometimes complained of by the cook,
and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits
so frequently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the nferiority of the work
done by these powders, the physiologlsts
assure us that lime and alum taken into the
system in such quantities as this are injuri-
GUS. They are not decomposed by heat nor
dissolved in mixing or baking. They go
with the bread, therefore, into the stomach,
where their physiological effects are lndl-
gestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why. dc
these cheap baking powder makers use these
things? Alum is three cents pound lime
still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs
thirty five or forty. The reasons for the
chemical purity of the Royal Baking Pow
der were recently given in the New York
Times IN an interesting description of q
new method for refining argols, or crude
cream of tartar It seems that 1t IS only
under this process that cream of tartar can
be freed from the lime natural to it and rem
dered chemically pure that the patents aud
plant for this cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about Half a million dollars, and
that they maintain exclusive control OF the
rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist oi
the Department of Agriculture ut Washing
ton, d. c., in the interests of commerce,
made an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results attained in the re-
fined cream of tartar. The following ex'
tract from his report would seem 10 answer
the question repeated at the bead of this
article, aud which is so frequently pro
pounded by the houseleeper
Il have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Company
in the manufacture Of their baking powder,
and find il to be perfectly pure. and free
from lime in any form. The cheRical tests
70 which have submitted the Royal Bak.
ing Powder prove it perfectly heaithful, and
free from every deleterious substance"

Prohibition Song.
pYy. @. WELLS, CHATTANOOGA, TENN.
A hopeless grief,
Which spurns relief,
Inthralls the muhitudes who dwell
In homes once bright
With sacred light,
Now blackened by the shades Of hell!
CuoRus
o shall there come day,
Whom rum shall lose its sway,
And sorrows flee away2
A ruthless band,
On every hand
Ordained by law the power to WELD
or death and sin
Hath entered In;
Beneath whose touch all hope must yield
CHORUS
Yet comes there not day
When rum shall lose its sway,
And sorrows fee away2
The voice of God
Is heard abroad,
10 free the law, ana ransoh hioh
From depths of gloom;
And bid the bloom
OF Eden clothe the earth again!
Chorus:
o speed the joyous day
When rum shall lose its sway,
And sorrows fee away.
And rescued law
Shall hold in awe,
With edict stern, the cruel hand
Which would destroy
Tho founts Of joy,
And desolate the fairest land.
CHORUS:
And thus shall come the day
When rum snail lose its sway,
And sorrows flee away.
The chains must rend;
The woes must end;
And prisons yawn for prey in vain,
And hope return
10 hearts that yearn;
And peace resume its hallowed reign.
CHORUS:
Then haste the joyous dny
When rum shall lose its sway,
And sorrows flee away.

When the liquor men say prohibi

When the liquor men say prohibi,
ton will not pohibit they mean that
it shall not prohibit if they can pre-
vent it. The men who make this plea
strike at fundamental principle OF
our government. The power is with
the people. If they choose to adopt
the amendment, it is theirs to see that
it shall be enforced. This they Ger
tainly will do. To assume that they
cannot do so is to deny that the peo-
pie have the power to execute the
will of majority. That is to destroy
the basal principle of democracy. II
is to precipitate upon us the rule OF
foreign flags. It means anarchy aud
social chaos.-Waco Advance.
